SAVE IS C.AI!SAVE!

ONE STAR ONLY DID 5 STARS SO YOU COULD SEEyou have to provide ID and age verification now. ads are insane and pop up every two seconds. characters have no unique personalities and are all the exact same. characters have zero memory. chatting is repetitive and boring now because they repeat the same lines, plots, emotions over and over. used…

WhyYeah it was good until you could only get like a few chats before you had to wait 8 hours or pay a subscription
